Long Beach exploration and Wonderful Restaurant

My new friend Rob and I went over to the historic city of Long Beach to do our missions. Mr. Rob was late as usual. He takes him own sweet time to get ready and somewhere. Maybe the dude thinks he is still in Hawaii! I kind of take my time to do things to but, man this guy. I went over to the place we were supposed to meet in Long Beach. I was early. Robby got lost a bunch of times along the way, so it delayed him even more. I spoke to Rob on the phone to find out where I should park. He told me to park in structure by Pine Street. I also asked him how much the parking fee was. He said that he paid seven dollar to park in the structure. I was like, f. that. There was no way I was going to pay that much for parking my car. I was determined to find cheaper parking. So I drove around since I was so early. Everywhere I drove I found parking meters. I was thinking to myself, man this city is filled with parking meters. I finally found some parking spots on the street without any parking meters. I was about to park my car and walk around to see how far away from the meeting point I was, but then I realized that I had parked in the ghettoes of Long Beach. I immediately got back into my car and drove around to find a place that had fewer ghetto folks. I found a CVS parking, it which a mix of ghetto and normal. I parked my car and directed Rob to the parking lot.

    Rob and I walked around and decided to get started on our missions. We were also hungry, so Rob asked a girl where a good place to eat was. He was about to do his mission, but the girl told us to eat in the restaurant that was free. We stopped right there and listened to her. This place has free food every Sunday from 5 pm to 9 pm. It was vegetarian food. Rob and I went in there and we were greeted with so much hospitality. I loved the place; I had a slight warm feeling in my heart! They served me hot chocolate, Veggie Delight Sandwich and Cheesecake! Not bad for free! I donated $10on behalf of Rob and I. It was worth it. The moral of the story, don't pay for expensive parking, find a free or donation restaurant and donate whatever you feel like at the restaurant than waste it parking. You also get to see more of the place my parking further away and discover such novelties as I did.
